About PADA

PADA Overview

The Pennsylvania Dietetic Association, an affiliate of the American Dietetic Association, is the advocate of the dietetics profession serving the public through the promotion of optimal nutrition, health and well being. We are an organization of nearly 3400 members throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . Our members also have the opportunity to join one of our six districts that represent their geographical locations in Pennsylvania.

We have many active volunteer committees throughout the state serving both the state and local districts. Each and every board and committee welcome members to join in their activities. This is not only a great way to get to know each other, but also a great way to work together to promote our goals. As an organization, we welcome new members and encourage all members to take an active role in promoting nutrition in our profession. Our strength comes from working together.
